At a park in Saint Charles, we were shooting stock photography, and this was captured by Jason Butler while I jumped off a park bench.

I have been writing on the web since 2000. I am a christian , a photographer, an occasional poet, a recovering dreamer, an occasional philosopher, a software developer, an autodidact, and I resemble the INFP personality type.
I have several new poems to share. They are: An Evening Prayer Nostalgia Late Night Conversation Special Girl Please enjoy!
Sounds of laughter fill the air And I know her tender care Are precious to the ones who know The special girl to whom I owe This blessed eventide
Who is that friend I seek at night With long blond hair and eyes so bright With whom I wish to chase this hour Till sunshine lay upon the flower By the window sil
I walked along the rolling streams And drank in deep of all my dreams Life then felt rich, as rich as gold Richer than the kings of old Now it seems life’s frantic pace Has robbed me of the gentle grace That once I loved about those streams That walked I by within my dreams
Peaceful dreams and thoughtful streams of lilting water pure Drifting oer the soft green moor in sweetest songs of yore Wishing best and healing rest to thee of friendship fast To wake the day with voices gay upon the green green grass

Yesterday Jason B. and Jeremy W. and I went to the park to take stock photography for Marzhill Studios. We were jumping off park benches and doing cartwheels. There were two precious little girls playing, and I caught some photos of them. With permission from their father, I get to post them here.3000x20003000x20003000x20003000x20002000x13003000x2000The large versions can be downloaded and printed and are 1.5mb in size. I just want to say thanks to the parents for letting me post the pics. Enjoy.
Summer days and Spring time flowers Evenings filled with conversation Autumn winds and Winter bowers Mornings brimmed with anticipation Of a future bright with naught to fear And life to live with those held dear These are gifts that God has given Treasured with each passing season Gifts for which the God of Heaven With might by love for this His reason That He might demonstrate to us The wisdom of His sovereign love
Tell if this sounds familiar. Watching myself grow up (I know that sounds a bit weird, but I’m a very introspective person), I’ve noticed a cycle. The length of the cycle varies depending on one thing or another, but the general gist of it is like this. Everything is going well. I begin to make tentative steps forward with things. After a little success, I become a little bolder, growing confident. Then I become just a little to confidant and someone humiliates me. I stop short and think, "Sheesh, didn’t you learn the last time that you can’t run around…

Near our apartments there is a little pond. These four guys seemed to be having a lovely day.
I woke up early on Friday morning, the day I flew out to meet Jenn. My roomate Jon drove me to the airport, and with a certain amount of nervous excitement I made my way through security checkpoints, airport gates and airplanes until I arrived in South Carolina. The Bible Belt. And Greenville the Bible Belt Buckle. I met Jenn at the airport, and with an exchange of hello’s and hugs all around, we were off to explore the depths of Greenville. I was a bit quiet at first. See, I was sick with a cold and feeling a bit…
This Week in Review You know, bloggin only once a week, although freeing in some ways, is frustrating in others. Throughout the week I’ll come up with a bunch of things I’ll want to blog, then come Friday, I can’t remember many of them. I’m gonna have to start writing these things down. Jenn wrote about my visit, and Amber did as well. I would tell you my perspective, but they have done such a good job, there is little for me to tell. I do have several photo’s I want to post when I get home, so later on…
